Level Up Your Root Vegetables with a Jam Glaze

Root vegetables, like carrots and parsnips, are versatile and especially delicious when roasted. Add an unexpected twist of flavor by glazing them with jam. Since root vegetables tend to have a mild taste, you can experiment with whatever jam you have in your fridge.

You can easily make a glaze by combining 1/4 cup jam and 2 tablespoons liquid such as water, balsamic vinegar, or citrus juice. If you want a thicker glaze, use less liquid. Chef Jose Garces suggests you combine the jam glaze with other spices (like mustard or caraway seeds) for a balanced, savory dish. You’ll end up with more depth to your glazed veggies.
